What components come in the Tutor Auto rear latch kit?

The package arrives ready to install with the main mechanical parts necessary to replace a failed rear-right latch assembly. It’s designed to minimize additional purchasing and simplify a door repair.

How durable and precise is this replacement latch compared to the original?

Tutor Auto’s assembly uses metal components in the latch, cable ends and rods to resist wear from repeated use. While not an OEM-branded part, it is manufactured to align with original mounting and actuation points to ensure consistent door operation.

• High‑quality metal materials for longevity and smoother operation.
